Overview

Thetanix is the brand name for a single-strain, live biotherapeutic product (LBP) containing the bacterium *Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron*. [1, 5] It was developed by 4D Pharma for the treatment of Crohn's disease, particularly in pediatric and adolescent populations. [2, 4] As an LBP, its mechanism of action involves modulating the host's gut microbiome. Preclinical and clinical studies suggest it may reduce inflammation by antagonizing the NF-κB transcription factor, which in turn reduces pro-inflammatory cytokines like TNF-α. [1, 2, 5] Thetanix is administered as an oral, gastroresistant capsule. [2, 3] A Phase 1b clinical trial in adolescents with stable Crohn's disease found the treatment to be safe and well-tolerated. [1, 6]
